The night is deep, the lights are extinguished, the people are sleeping in bed, looking forward to tomorrow and a new day in their dreams, and in the prison of the Criminal Department located in the north of Chang'an City, the prisoners who have been day and night are lamenting the passing of another day.

There are two prisons in the east and west, one slow and one heavy, and the west prison with light responsibility is built on the ground, and these prisoners can still see the sunlight during the day, while the east room of the heavy punishment is a small half buried in the ground, and the dozen or so cells under this ground are all the vicious death row prisoners who will be executed in the near future.

In the pitch-black cell, Lu Zhi sat on the haystack with his back against the cold stone wall, because he was locked up in the official hospital of the Criminal Department three days ago, the thin prison clothes on his body were quite clean, but he did not take a bath for several days, his black hair was messily draped over his shoulders, and the scars on his face and the stubble on his chin made him look depressed and embarrassed, and his eyes were gently closed, I don't know if he was asleep, so he didn't show any fear of the upcoming lynching tomorrow.

There was a "squeak" sound, and a ball of fire quickly squeezed into the cell, and after another sound, in this closed cell, in addition to Lu Zhi, there was another figure.

The person who came was holding a torch, and after seeing Lu Zhi sitting in the corner of the wall, he turned around and inserted the torch into the handle on the wall, walked towards him step by step, bent down in front of him, and by the dim light of the fire, a pair of eyes swept from his forehead to his chin, and carefully did not even miss the stubble.

A moment later, a jade hand dyed with pink Kodan reached out, and the slender index finger stretched out and gently slid over his eyebrows, falling to the side of his cheek, the crescent-shaped nails gently brushed the hard scabs, half in the light and half in the shadows, a sly smile could not be revealed, and the jade hand that was about to caress his chapped lips was caught by another dirty but slender palm.

Lu Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was close at hand, and did not show the slightest surprise at how she could appear here at this time, but just looked at her face lightly and said nothing.

"What are you doing watching your sister like this? But if you don't see each other for a few days, you won't know each other? ”

The two were close together, and as she spoke, the fishy sweet aroma on her face filled her face, and his hand holding her wrist tightened. With the light on her back, she swept the expression on his face again, and suddenly laughed stupidly, she just wanted him to be like this, and she wanted him to be distorted in his heart.

"Zhi'er, those few people who touched you have all been killed by me."

Lu Zhi's silent eyes finally fluctuated, and when she saw it, she stretched out her other hand and stroked his messy hair, looking at him with a blurred look, almost muttering:

"How much my sister protects you, do you know, those who have trampled on you in the Guozijian are left with one of his eldest grandsons, I deliberately left him to you, why didn't you kill him, thanks to me following you, otherwise wouldn't it be cheaper for him...... Zhi'er, do you know that my sister will not let go of all the people who have hurt you. ”

Lu Zhi was suspicious, in the past year, Guozijian had killed several students openly and secretly, but he didn't expect it to be her.

"What about you, aren't you the one who has hurt me to this point?" He finally spoke, his voice hoarse, no longer as clear as before the murder.

"Me? Zhi'er, you're so stupid," Chu Buliu shook his head as if he had heard some joke, and said, "Everything I do is to help you, how could I harm you." ”

"Help me?" Lu Zhi sneered and said, "Chu Buliu, forcing me to come here, are you helping me?" ”

The words of his friend are still in his ears, if he hadn't been keenly aware of her abnormality to himself and kept a hand, the tragic situation that Yiyu rushed over to see that day would have come true, or stealing chickens and rice.

"I'm really helping you," Chu Buliu had a sly smile on his beautiful face, and when he said it again, the doubts that had been shrouded in Lu Zhi's heart for days were instantly removed.

"I'm helping you, helping you stay with me."

The surprise on his face was revealed, and Chu Buliu said to himself: "What, don't you want to stay by my side, after committing this case and forming a mortal enemy with the eldest grandson's family, is it still possible for you to stay in Chang'an City?" Zhi'er, I know that your family revenge has been avenged, and there is nothing in this capital that can keep you, so leave with me. ”

His pupils shrank slightly, his heart was a little shaken, Lu Zhi was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, looked at her with a complicated face, and said:

"No, I won't go with you."

"Hehe, don't say stupid things." Chu Buliu stroked his tangled long hair, and his smile did not change, as if Lu Zhi was a disobedient child who was willful, and said:

"After a while, when the guards outside change shifts, I will take you away, don't worry, I will take care of everything, the master only thinks that I want to seize power with you, not the embankment, we will leave Beijing at night, take a carriage south, go to Huainan, we buy a house, and then ......"

Saying this, her expression was already a little stupid, and Lu Zhi also saw that she was not in her right mind, and knew that the most appropriate way at present was to follow her and stabilize her, but in the face of this woman who had cast waves in his heart, at this juncture, he found that he was ruthless and continued to deceive her.

He let go of the hand that held her wrist, and the other hand reached out and pressed it on her shoulders, gently pushing her away from a distance, interrupting her beautiful thoughts in a deep voice:

"Don't stay, I repeat, I won't leave with you, if you want to leave, then go alone, I want to stay in Chang'an."

"Zhi'er, you are confused, if you stay in Chang'an, there will only be a dead end," Chu Buliu put away his smile and frowned exquisitely.

"I'm not confused," Lu Zhi hung indifference on his face, "I don't know where you misunderstood that I wanted to stay by your side, but I didn't mean to, unlike you, I still have a home." ”

The torches on the wall made a "zila" sound, and a layer of cold air suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her slender fingers stretched out against his lips, and said softly but dangerously:

"Shut up."

Lu Zhi brushed away her fingers without pity, stood up on the ground, looked down at her raised face squatting on the ground, closed her eyes, and said in a dumb voice:

"You'd better leave alone now, if you take me with you, you won't even be able to get out of this death row - you have a heart of betrayal, the emperor has long found out that there are at least a dozen masters in ambush inside and outside this big prison now, as long as you have any abnormal movements, you will be ambushed. I will not be beheaded, because after tomorrow, I will replace you as the new leader of Kui Xing Lou. ”(！ )
